Day 16-18, New Orleans, Louisiana
Unfortunately wifi went down in our hotel for the remainder of our stay in New Orleans; you try remembering what you did when it involves Bourbon Street every afternoon and evening for 3 days!

Celine's feet were hurting so we considered taking a bicycle rickshaw back to our B&B, but when the driver heard we were in the Treme district, he declined. On our walk back we were entertained by a number of impromptu bands on the sidewalk and a couple of women step dancing in time to the music.
